疯狂英语口语要素精选及引申17

2011-09-17来源:和谐英语

1. I hope I didn't offend you.

希望没有冒犯你。

还有一个短语no offense: 无意冒犯。不知道大家有没有这样一种感觉,越是别人说这句,你就觉得是一种冒犯,虽然对方说了不是故意而为之,但还是有种很不舒服的感觉,呵呵~~正如一部电影里所说:Why do people always say "no offense" when they do offend you? 为什么人们冒犯你的时候总是说“无意冒犯”?

2. It won't take much time.

不会花很长时间的。

take的短语很多的哦~~这里列举几个考试常考的:

take up: 拿起,开始,从事。

例:She took up the narrative where John had left off. 她接着讲约翰未讲完的故事。

take on: 承担,呈现,接受。

例:He is unwilling to take on heavy responsibilities. 他不愿承担重任。

take in: 吸收,理解,欺骗。

例:I was taken in by the salesman-the car turned out to be uneconomical and unreliable. 推销员骗了我——那辆车结果既不经济又不牢靠。

take off: 起飞,取消,脱下。

例:The show had to be taken off because of poor audiences. 因观众太少而取消演出。

3. It's been a long time.

好久不见了。

更普遍的说法是Long time no see. 不过一开始这个说法是不正确的,后来才被大家逐渐接受的。

4. It's nothing.

小事情/不足挂齿。

“小菜一碟”大家都会吧?!a piece of cake.

5. It's incredible.

难以置信。

incredible这样的形容词或者如absolutely这样的副词非常好用,短小精悍,特别给力,呵呵~~类似的还有undoubtedly,unbelievable等等。

6. It's hard to say.

难说。
